The Irish Marie Skłodowska-Curie Office is hosting a webinar on the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships call 2024. These Fellowships support researchers’ careers with a focus on training and skills development through excellent research and innovation projects. Researchers holding a PhD can carry out their research activities, acquire new skills and develop their careers abroad, whilst developing competences in non-academic sectors and working within interdisciplinary teams. The event is open to potential applicant researchers and organisations based in Ireland from across sectors and disciplines, including, but not limited to, higher education institutions, funding agencies, industry, and civil society organisations. MC of the webinar will be Dr Yvonne Halpin, MSCA National Delegate and Head of the Irish Marie Skłodowska-Curie Office
